Cheng Xiuyun and Shi Xiu-neng brought a large number of clothes back from the Shenzhen market.
As soon as he returned home, Shi Xiuneng was paralyzed in bed and couldn’t get up.
When Cheng Xiuyun watched him throw his clothes on the ground, his forehead was so angry that the blue veins were exposed, but he finally resisted and picked up the clothes one by one.
Before he was cleaned up, Shi Xingrui rushed in like firecrackers from the outside: “Mom, you and Dad are finally back. If you don’t come back, I will be bullied by others… “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Cheng Xiuyun was so tired that her whole body fell apart, especially her waist sore that she could hardly straighten up. Shi Xingrui was so stunned that she slammed into it. She took two steps back, her back hitting the table behind, her face was distorted with pain. Up.
“What are you kid doing? Reckless, how did I teach you before, let you be a girl to be gentle and elegant, look at what you look like now!”
Shi Xingrui was a fake cry before. She didn’t expect her mother didn’t hug her to coax her. Instead, she scolded her when she came back. She sat on the ground and burst into tears: “Dad, your daughter is going to be beaten to death, Dad woos. …”
Shi Xingrui’s throat is very loud, crying like crying, the noise makes Cheng Xiuyun’s brain protruding like a wall.
Shi Xiu was awakened, and he cursed impatiently: “As soon as I come back, I will scold the child. If I make any noise, I will get out of here!”
Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that she almost vomited blood and died.
Seeing her mother being scolded, Shi Xingrui was so proud that she got up and ran to the bed and took her father’s hand: “Dad, you said you should bring me a beautiful dress. Where is the dress?”
Shi Xiu was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes, and said perfunctorily: “Take it to your mother.”
Turned over and fell asleep again.
Shi Xingrui was scolded by her mother, and she didn’t want to pay attention to her mother for the time being, so she ran over to pick up her clothes and messed up the clothes that Cheng Xiuyun had just arranged.
Cheng Xiuyun was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently: “I just finished the clothes, you stop me!”
Shi Xingrui made a grimace at her: “I want new clothes. If you don’t give it to me, I will tell my dad to get up and say you beat me!”
Shi Xiu can have a very serious anger to get up. If he is woken up after not sleeping, he will definitely curse. Cheng Xiuyun really doesn’t want to confront him.
Only when she heard her daughter threaten herself with such words, she almost didn’t come up in a sigh of anger. Why did she give birth to such a nuisance?
Compared with Wen Rugui when she was a child, Shi Xingrui is simply reborn as a demon king, especially Shi Xiu who can support her, completely disregarding her motherhood.
Cheng Xiuyun had no choice but to find two skirts and give them to her.
Shi Xingrui’s eyes brightened, and he took the skirt and smiled: “Give me pocket money, I’m out of money.”
Cheng Xiuyun frowned, “Didn’t I just give you five yuan when I left? It only took a few days?”
Shi Xingrui’s eyes rolled: “I bought stationery, give it to me quickly!”
Shi Xiuneng didn’t know what the curse was, so Cheng Xiuyun had to take out one yuan and hand it over: “Don’t spend money, don’t buy sweets, your teeth…”
But before the words were finished, Shi Xingrui took the money and the skirt and ran away to show off to his peers in the yard.
Shi Xingrui had pocket money and a new dress, and suddenly forgot about the itchy scalp. Cheng Xiuyun was tired and angry, plus there were many things to work on, and she didn’t notice that she always scratched her scalp when she spoke.
Therefore, Shi Xingrui’s head lice was ignored.
The two men took a rest for only one day and then went into the big business of selling clothes. They took a large tarp to a shop on the street next to the market, and then put the clothes on it.
As the country’s first special economic zone, Shenzhen City, coupled with the advantages of its geographical location, has led to rapid economic development. The clothes brought back by the two couples from Shenzhen City are fashionable. People in Beijing City have never seen it.
So as soon as the clothes were put out, people soon came to ask for the price.
“This coat is eight yuan, and the skirt is fifteen yuan.”
“Why is it so expensive?”
“Sister, look at my dress. The color is so bright and the style is unique. I can’t find a second store in Beijing, and I don’t want a ticket.”
The woman who asked for the price heard that she didn’t want a ticket, and she became even more emotional. What’s more important is that the clothes are really beautiful. Unlike department store clothes that are either black or gray, occasionally there are a few brightly-colored ones that were taken before they were taken out. People ordered away.
Just when she hesitated, a modern-dressed woman came over and picked up two skirts: “How do you sell these two?”
Cheng Xiuyun immediately smiled and said, “The red fifteen yuan, the blue eighteen yuan.”
The woman held two skirts and gestured on her body twice, very satisfied.
Cheng Xiuyun boasted: “This **** has such a good figure, wearing these two skirts is like a goddess, and it makes people unable to move their eyes.”
If it sounds nice, everyone likes to listen.
The woman was overwhelmed with praise and handed over the two skirts and said: “I want these two. When will you put them on, I will introduce my sisters and colleagues to buy them later.”
Cheng Xiuyun’s smile deepened: “It will be there before dark, but this time we don’t have much stock. If you want it, you must hurry up. It will be sold out in two days.”
When the first woman heard this, she didn’t hesitate anymore, and hurriedly bought two pieces of clothes.
Four clothes were sold at once, and when the two women left, the two couples couldn’t close their happy mouths together.
Shi Xiu was able to count the money and glanced at her: “Okay, you, I didn’t expect you to be a business man.”
Cheng Xiuyun took a sip of water: “It’s not all forced by life.”
If she used to sell clothes on the street, she would not be able to pull her face down, and she would not be able to boast with a smile, but this time she went to the Shenzhen market, which gave her a big shock.
She saw that her best friends were doing business every day, and the whole Shenzhen market was full of vitality. Both men and women were very hardworking. She carefully observed other people doing business and imitated them in her heart.
If others can do it, she will surely be able to do it too.
Shi Xiuneng wanted to compliment her, but soon someone came over to buy clothes.
As Cheng Xiuyun said, the clothes were sold out in less than two or three days, because the first time they sold clothes, they didn’t dare to return too many wholesalers. After they were sold out, they had to go to Shenzhen again for wholesale.
They plan to come back by wholesale more clothes this time, and Shi Xingrui can only ask Aunt Tuolin again.
Aunt Lin originally wanted to refuse, but Cheng Xiuyun gave her ten yuan more than last time to take care of Shi Xingrui. She looked at ten yuan and couldn’t say what she refused.
**
Cheng Xiuyun’s business here is booming, and Tong Xuelu’s business is also booming.
After choosing an auspicious day, her “Lu Wei Zhai” opened.
Before the opening, she went back to school and mentioned this to her former classmates because she was very popular, and everyone had heard about her previous job as a hotel manager. People who had never had a meal wanted to try it.
So on the opening day, many people came over to join in.
In order to make a big hit, Tong Xuelu also offered a three-day opening discount, as long as the consumption of five yuan or more, all will be discounted 10%.
These days, whether you go to a department store to buy things or go to a state-owned restaurant to eat, there are only cases where you can’t buy them. I have never heard of such things as discounts.
Everyone found it very novel, and they heard that there was a discount, and it seemed to be a disadvantage if they didn’t buy it. So everyone came over to buy a few. If one person can’t eat so much, then a few classmates will buy together.
“Lu Wei Zhai” not only sells Mala Tang, but also a variety of lo mei, such as marinated chicken feet, marinated chicken wings, marinated duck necks, many snacks that no one has ever tasted.
The taste is superb, spicy and delicious, and it is also allowed to buy only a little bit of each, so that everyone can try each one as much as possible.
It goes without saying that Tong Xuelu’s cooking skills have brought Dongfeng Restaurant back to life in less than half a month, and her cooking skills have long been recognized by everyone.
After the students came over and tried, they were full of praise, so they passed on from ten to ten, and the word of mouth quickly spread.
People nearby know that this place is open, and they will come over and buy some to make meals.
All in all, business is booming.
The restaurant hasn’t opened yet. Three days ago, Tong Xuelu personally came to help, and brought along Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping.
Guo Chunyu’s mind turns fast, she can learn a lot of things in a short time, and she has an enthusiastic and cheerful personality, which makes her a good salesperson.
Guo Weiping’s personality is relatively introverted and he is not a smart person, but he has a good temper, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and is willing to obey the arrangements. Tong Xuelu is also very satisfied with him.
After closing the door on the first day, closing the door of the shop, once the turnover was cleared, there was actually more than 400.
Guo Chunyu was so shocked that his mouth opened wide: “Oh my God, it looks like everyone buys it for a few yuan, but I didn’t expect it to have so much turnover.”
You must know that Dongfeng Hotel usually does not have that much turnover in a day.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “You have to be mentally prepared. After the first three days, there won’t be so many in the future.”
Guo Chunyu thought for a while and expressed his understanding.
In the first three days, many people were curious, and there were also many people who came to patronize only because of Tong Xuelu’s face. In addition, there are discounts, so there are more talents to buy.
If there are no discounts later, there will be fewer people buying. In addition, everyone is not very wealthy these days, so I definitely can’t go out to eat and drink every day.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “But this is only temporary. Now that the country is dedicated to economic development, people’s living standards will get better and better, and more and more people will be able to buy things.”
Guo Chunyu nodded: “What Manager Tong said is that in fact, everyone’s life in the past two years is different from before.”
If it were changed before, who would have dared to sell things so openly, but now you can see people selling things on the street from time to time.
Tong Xuelu encouraged them and said: “You guys should do it well, and when the store is ready, I will open a second and third store. Then you can be promoted to be a manager to help others.”
The brothers Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping were startled.
Guo Chunyu’s face immediately burst into light: “Thank you, Manager Tong, we will definitely do it well!”
Guo Weiping showed an unconfident expression: “Being a manager? I’m afraid I can’t do it…”
Before he finished speaking, he was beaten hard by his sister, hinting him to shut up with her eyes.
This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no one else would have expected it, and he actually took the initiative to launch it, and he had never seen such a stupid one.
If Tong Xuelu said this before the opening, she would definitely not believe it, but looking at the turnover of the past few days, she couldn’t help but not believe it.
The decoration of the restaurant has not been fully completed, and the “Business License for Individual Industrial and Commercial Households” has not yet been released. Deng Hong’s resignation also takes one month as a handover, so the opening time can only be delayed.
The other five people recruited, because the restaurant was not open yet, Tong Xuelu asked them to come over to the shop to help and study, and follow Guo Chunyu’s management.
In addition, she also asked Deng Hong to help find one or two chefs. After all, after the restaurant opened, she could not be the only chef.
The business of “Lu Wei Zhai” was as expected by Tong Xuelu. After the first three days, the business was not so prosperous in the future, but the business was not bad.
Although Qian Caixin has not been to Luweizhai to buy anything, he always pays attention to Tong Xuelu’s every move.
Seeing that Lu Wei Zhai actually made Tong Xuelu do it, she felt very uncomfortable: “Some people just can’t support the wall with mud. They don’t go to a good unit, but they want to do business. I will definitely regret it in the future!”
When the people in the dormitory heard her say this, they looked at each other and didn’t answer.
Since Qian Caixin’s internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was cancelled, she hated Tong Xuelu more and more, but because her family had warned her, she did not dare to target Tong Xuelu again.
Before Luweizhai opened, she cursed the closure of Luweizhai every day in her heart. When the time came to let the whole school read Tong Xuelu’s jokes, she didn’t expect the business of Luweizhai to be so good, which seemed to slap her forcibly.
The more she thought about it, the less reconciled she became.
Tong Xuelu didn’t know about Qian Caixin’s life sulking. She wrote a letter to Xie Guangkun in the United States and asked him if he could buy an induction cooker for herself.
The world’s first induction cooker was manufactured in Germany in 1957. In 1972, the United States began to produce induction cookers. Now in the early 1980s, induction cookers are very popular in Europe, America and Japan.
But China has no induction cooker yet.
Looking back, she wanted to make hot pot. The induction cooker is the most convenient and safe way to make hot pot. It is not safe to use coal or alcohol. In particular, coal is extremely susceptible to poisoning.
After writing the letter, she handed it to the staff of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office.
Nowadays, communication has not been liberalized at home and abroad, and letters to foreign countries need to pass through layers of barriers before they can be sent.
I am afraid it will not be easy to send an induction cooker back. Tong Xuelu wrote in the letter. If there is no alternative, let him ask for a manual for himself as much as possible.
She wants Wen Rugui to see if he has any friends who can make them, and then become the first domestic manufacturer of induction cookers. This will be another way of making money.
Before Xie Guangkun wrote back, it was the day when Jiang Baihui got married.
Tong Xuelu went to give her makeup as agreed, because Jiang Baihui had no cosmetics, so she paid for her and gave her a set.
When Jiang Baihui received the cosmetics, she was so happy that she would hug her: “Xuelu, I am so happy, thank you, I really like this gift!”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “If you like it, sit down, and the bridegroom will come to pick you up later. I have to put on makeup quickly.”
Jiang Baihui quickly sat down after hearing the words: “By the way, you can teach me how to make-up when you come back. I heard that foreign women have to make-up when they go to work.”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Yes, makeup is actually not difficult, as long as you practice a few more times.”
Jiang Baihui’s foundation is good and his facial features are magnificent. Tong Xuelu gives her a dignified atmosphere with her face, and a little charming makeup.
After the transformation, Jiang Baihui almost couldn’t recognize herself when she looked at herself in the mirror: “Oh my God, did I turn out to be so beautiful?!”
The cousins of Jiang Baihui’s cousins saw Tong Xue’s decayed make-up technique with their own eyes, and they couldn’t help but praise them.
“Comrade Tong’s makeup is so amazing, I can’t even read it.”
“Me too, but Bai Hui’s makeup is really good-looking. When her brother-in-law comes over, she will definitely be so fascinated that she can’t turn her eyes away.”
The whole room laughed, Jiang Baihui blushed and glared at her cousin.
Soon Jiang Baihui’s mother came over and she praised Jiang Baihui again and again when she saw that Jiang Baihui had become so beautiful.
Because there was a need to help outside, Jiang Baihui’s mother called a group of girls out to help. Only Jiang Baihui and Tong Xuelu were left in the room.
Jiang Baihui took Tong Xuelu’s hand and said, “It would be great if we could go abroad together, but you ran away to do business.”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “Everyone has aspirations, and my situation is not suitable for going abroad.”
Jiang Baihui knew her situation, so she didn’t continue to say it, and the topic changed: “My cousin, it’s the one standing next to you just now. What do you think of her?”
Tong Xuelu thought for a moment: “Is it the one with round face?”
Jiang Baihui nodded: “Yes, it’s her. My cousin is 19 years old and graduated from high school. She also took the college entrance examination before, but it was a pity that she didn’t pass it.”
Tong Xuelu: “Then you can continue the test.”
Jiang Baihui shook her head: “She is not thinking about studying. Her goal is to marry a good family and teach her sons.”
Tong Xuelu: “…”
Jiang Baihui suddenly lowered her voice and said, “My cousin has a very gentle personality. There are three older brothers in the family. She is the youngest and very popular at home. My uncle and aunt have already spoken, saying that when she gets married, she will prepare a generous dowry for her. .”
Tong Xuelu thought she was just chatting, and said: “It’s still the same sentence, everyone has aspirations, as long as she doesn’t break the law, she can choose the way of life she wants.”
Jiang Baihui nodded again: “I know, but when I mentioned her to you, I wanted to ask you, do you think my cousin is suitable for Zhuzhu’s brother?”
Tong Xuelu was a little speechless, because she said so much because she wanted her to be a matchmaker.
She refused without thinking about it: “You should know my character, I don’t like to mix these.”
Jiang Baihui paused, and shook her hand: “But I’m not someone else. What kind of friendship is between us? I think my cousin and Wei Ran match well, so you can help me be a middleman.”
“What’s more, haven’t you helped the female college students of the base and the school have a friendship before?”
Tong Xuelu: “For the friendship between the base and the school, I am just helping to spread a message. The school controls and organizes it, and I did not participate.”
“Yeah, this time I just want you to help me spread a message. Just mention my cousin to Grandma Shen and arrange for them to meet on a blind date. You don’t need to trouble you for other things.”
“Please, Xuelu, you can help me.” Jiang Baihui looked at her expectantly, “Today is my wedding day. You can’t refuse me!”
There was a slight sense of discomfort in Tong Xuelu’s heart, but she didn’t show it: “Let me ask Grandma Shen later.”
In fact, there is no need to ask, the Wei family’s family background is more than one level higher than that of the Jiang family.
Coupled with the death of Wei Ran and Wei Zhuzhu’s parents, Shen Wanrong wants to find a capable wife for Wei Ran.
Jiang Baihui’s cousin is very childish, and she timidly does not meet Shen Wanrong’s criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law.
But at this moment Jiang Baihui framed her up and made her have to agree, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Baihui laughed: “That’s great. Grandma Shen likes you so much. As long as you are an introducer, she will definitely match my cousin.”
Tong Xuelu glanced at her without comment.
Soon the bridegroom came over to pick up the people, and there was a lively activity inside and outside the house again.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Liang Tianyi was stunned when he saw Jiang Baihui wearing makeup.
Everyone smiled happily at his dull look.
Jiang Baihui raised her head and said to him: “Hold me.”
When she said this, her appearance and expression were not very similar to that of Tong Xuelu’s wedding day, but she could only say exactly the same.
Xie Xiaoyan, Tian Fengzhi and others were taken aback when they saw this, but because everyone was booing and letting Liang Tianyi hug someone, they quickly put this strange feeling behind them.
Liang Tianyi flushed with tension and walked over to bend over to pick Jiang Baihui up. Who knows if it is too agitated or Jiang Baihui’s height and weight exceed his load.
He hugged Jiang Baihui twice but failed to pick up Jiang Baihui.
When everyone saw this, the more they laughed.
“Groom officer, can you do it?”
“I only did ten push-ups just now, and now I can’t even hold the bride up. I don’t think so.”
Liang Tianyi was blushing like Guan Gong when he was smiled, and the shyness on Jiang Baihui’s face disappeared without a trace.
In the end, the two went out holding hands.
One week after the two got married, Liang Tianyi went abroad to study.
Tong Xuelu turned around and told Shen Wanrong about Jiang Baihui’s cousin, but was unexpectedly rejected.
Jiang Baihui was very unhappy for a while after learning about it.
On this day, Tong Xuelu went to the base to visit Wen Rugui, and met Wang Xiaoyun who also went to the base on the road.
The two chatted after knowing each other’s identities.
When they came to the gate of the base, Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan ran out of them, both holding a bunch of flowers in their hands.
Seeing their respective daughter-in-laws, the two brought flowers together.
Wen Rugui’s eyes were tender: “I planted this flower myself.”
Tong Xuelu hugged the flowers, smiling like a flower: “Scented flowers, I like them very much.”
Seeing this, Zhou Yan scratched his head and quickly said, “Xiao Yun, I also planted this flower myself.”
Wang Xiaoyun didn’t doubt that he was there, so she leaned forward and smelled it. The next moment her face turned green: “Why is there a smell of urine?”
Tong Xuelu: “…?”
Wen Rugui: “…”
Zhou Yan: “!!!”
Wen Rugui looked at Tong Xuelu with a bewildered face, and leaned over to explain in a low voice in her ear: “His flowers were secretly picked by the dean. It should be the dean’s little grandson who secretly peeed in the flowers again.”
Tong Xuelu: “…”
Wang Xiaoyun suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and it was impossible for him to plant this flower himself!
She was so angry that she smashed the flower on Zhou Yan, but before she could swear, she retched and vomited.
Zhou Yan was anxious, holding her arm and asking repeatedly: “How are you, Xiaoyun?”
Wang Xiaoyun retched and was speechless.
Zhou Yan paled with fright.
Tong Xuelu was about to say that they were going to help call the doctor, who knew it was too late to speak, a feeling of nausea surged to her chest.
She retched with a “vomiting” sound.
